Honestly, I watched this video a year ago and I said"pff I doubt life is a fairytale like they've said" But All I got here was just that, a fairytale story that I still can't believe I am a part of..
A Year later, I can say this was the best choice I have EVER made and I recommend it to anyone!!! It made me feel like I am important and I felt like all my new friends cared..in a way that I can't describe. I feel at home and I was homesick...I walk in my hometown proudly wearing my leather jacket!
On the + side though, it's again, a good university to study because you're kind of stranded 3 hours away from Toronto. Have a lovely library, like Stauffer that's closed till 1:45am after October then February. Profs and staffs tend to email you back relatively fast. At least I felt that when I was applying to university and calling to ask questions.
IT'S A GREAT UNIVERSITY TO STUDY, BUT GRADE 12'S, SOON TO BE FROSHS, please don't pick the university because it's pretty. Because I think every student here realizes when the rain comes down hard, it just looks like a bunch of buildings. Look for the good profs, aim high, go into a competitive program. I think Queen's has some good profs here, and they'll tend to care more about you from 2nd year, when class sizes are finally just under 150-200 :D
Queen's student housing sucks- Don't go there, it's a waste of money. Repair people never come to fix anything, if you fix it yourself it's considered damage. We found pests once we moved in. They raised the rent to around $100 from last year. They did not clean before we moved in, nor painted- we could see food still on the stove, calcium build up on sinks and tub and the tub was clogged with a discussing jumble of who knows what- worse part is, when someone came to fix that, they just put it
@HelloCaille into our garbage with out disposing of it properly. They were supposed to come fix our soap dish last week but never showed up. As for painting, they just retouch spots that have been peeled off. I am not living here next year- I advise anyone thinking about living here to just live in the ghetto or rent another place. It's honestly disgusting (I mentioned that in my previous post but I said discuss, obviously not discuss lol) and their staff and maintenance are not helpful in
@HelloCaille anyway because they either ignore you or push you off to the side. I have written many letters to them of my disgust with this apartment and barely anything has been done. Our cupboards are rotten for frig sakes and there are pests crawling from them! When they came to fix the problem they said there was nothing they could do about it until we caught one of them... are you kidding me?! We told them what type of bugs they were and they didn't do anything!!

@damdude2 The song is It's a Beautiful Day by Tim McMorris and is licensed by AudioJungle. We loved the happy energy of the song. Also, we thought it sounded a lot like Bedouin Soundclash, whose members were students here!
@GudLuckCharmz Hi there! There are no cable connections in rooms - but there are televisions in common rooms and in retail dining outlets, like the Lazy Scholar and Gords. Students often hang out in common rooms or at the Scholar to watch favourite shows together!
Just got accepted! So happy!
